South-up map orientation
open-in-new
<p>South-up map orientation is the <a href="/facts/Map/KxQX4B2U">orientation of a map</a> with <a href="/facts/South/951U2xXV">south</a> up, at the top of the map, amounting to a 180-degree rotation of the map from the standard convention of north-up. Maps in this orientation are sometimes called upside-down maps or reversed maps. </p>
